Asus ENGTX580 GeForce GTX 580 Review

Staring down the barrel of AMD's Radeon 6900 series which is reportedly due next month, Nvidia has decided to fire the first shot. Fermi is back with vengeance, introducing the new GF110-based GeForce GTX 580. The GeForce GTX 580 features all 512 streaming multiprocessor cores and 64 TAUs that the original Fermi should have had, along with a few other tweaks that should make the new graphics card even more potent in titles that make heavy use of tessellation such as Metro 2033.

Nvidia also claims the GeForce GTX 580 runs cooler and quieter than the GeForce GTX 480 while delivering better performance. That's an exciting prospect for gamers, so we look forward to put this board through its paces.
